Managing diabetes is not just about monitoring blood sugar levels; it also involves taking fantastic care of your feet. If you are diabetic, you know how crucial it is to have the right footwear and insoles. At Heel and Toe Podiatry, we are thrilled to share that starting in May 2025, our clinic will participate in Medicare's Diabetic Shoe and Insole Program. This program is a game-changer, aimed at helping you secure high-quality shoes and custom insoles tailored to your needs.
We are proud to offer shoes from the well-regarded brands Dr. Comfort and Anodyne. These brands are synonymous with comfort, functionality, and style, ensuring that your footwear not only supports your health but also complements your personal look.
Understanding the Importance of Diabetic Shoes and Insoles
Living with diabetes can put you at heightened risk for foot problems due to factors like reduced blood circulation and nerve sensitivity. For instance, studies show that individuals with diabetes are 15 times more likely to require an amputation compared to non-diabetics, primarily due to complications like ulcers and infections. Wearing diabetic shoes and customized insoles plays a critical role in preventing these issues.
Medicare recognizes this vital need and covers therapeutic shoes and insoles for those who qualify. Our mission at Heel and Toe Podiatry is to help you tap into these resources, enabling you to put your foot health at the forefront.
What to Expect from Our Services
At Heel and Toe Podiatry, we prioritize making your experience enjoyable and informative. Our skilled team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your feet, which may include assessing foot structure, circulation, and any diabetes-related conditions.
Once we fully understand your unique needs, we will provide personalized shoe recommendations. Expect to try on an array of styles from Dr. Comfort and Anodyne, known for their use of advanced pain-relief technologies and ergonomic designs. Research indicates that patients who wear specially designed diabetic shoes report a 60% reduction in foot-related pain, allowing them to move confidently throughout the day.
